WIGTON AIMS TO TEACH THERE’S MORE TO SOLAR THAN PHOTOVOLTAICS WITH THEIR SOLAR THERMAL COURSE

Kingston, Jamaica – February
12, 2020: There’s more to solar
energy than photovoltaics (PV) and Wigton Windfarm is seeking to expose
prospective students to the broader elements of the discipline with a Solar
Thermal Course, scheduled to run from March 9 to 13 at their Renewable Energy
Training Lab in Rose Hill, Manchester.

The 5-day programme will enable
participants to develop a thorough knowledge of solar thermal energy, an
affordable, efficient renewable energy technology currently growing in
popularity across the globe.

While the most commonly used
application is solar water heaters, the course will provide a thorough overview
of solar thermal technology and systems. The curriculum also blends theory and
practical as participants will learn how to design, size and safely install
reliable solar thermal systems.

The training will be
particularly useful for solar water heater dealers and installers,
electricians, contractors, property developers and home improvement
specialists. However, business and facility operators, householders and anyone
considering installing solar water heating or other uses of solar thermal technology
would also benefit considerably from attending. As with every Wigton course,
energy engineers, renewable energy students and even members of the general
public are being encouraged to register as well.

“When you hear about solar most
people think of panels and photovoltaics, however that is only one application
of solar energy,” Wigton Windfarm’s Managing Director, Earl Barrett explained.

“Solar Thermal is another
category of renewable energy that utilises solar power to provide economical
and environmentally friendly alternatives for water heating and more; and this
course will familiarise participants with multiple uses of this energy option.”

The course is among the core
programmes devised by Wigton that have received City and Guilds Assured Status.
The well-respected classification ensures that certification will be
recognisable internationally with the inscription of City and Guilds, a global
leader in skills development.
